Answer:

Calcula la elasticidad precio de la demanda.

La fórmula para calcular la elasticidad precio de la demanda es:

Elasticidad precio de la demanda = %Δ cantidad demandada/%Δ precio

Δ es la letra griega delta, y significa cambio.

Ahora reemplazamos las cantidades y resolvemos.

Elasticidad precio de la demanda = 4 / 20

                                                         = 0.2

¿Es la demanda elástica, inelástica o unitaria?

La demanda es inelástica ya que la cantidad demandada ha cambiado menos que el precio. Mientras que el precio aumentó un 20%, la demanda sólo disminuyó en un 4%. Esto significa que la leche es un bien cuya demanda no es tan sensible a los cambio de precio, por lo que podemos afirmar que es un bien inelástico.

¿Este producto tendrá un sustituto fácil o difícil de encontrar? ¿Por qué?

Los bienes inelásticos usualmente no tienen sustitutos fáciles de encontrar, es por ello que incluso si su precio aumenta mucho, como en este caso, la mayoría de la gente los seguirá comprando ya que no encuentran otros bienes con que reemplazarlos.

Calcula la elasticidad cruzada de la demanda (cross elasticity of demand). Los productos A y B

La formula es:

Elasticidad cruzada = %Δ demanda producto A/ %Δ precio producto B

Elasticidad cruzada = 8 / 16

                                 = 0.5

Los productos A y B, ¿son complementarios o sustitutos? ¿Por qué?

Los productos A y B son sustitutos ya que cuando aumenta el precio de uno, también aumenta la demanda del otro, lo que significa que algunos consumidores del producto A, están sustituyendo dicho producto con el producto B.

Diseñando una gráfica, demuestra el cambio en la curva de la demanda del producto A como resultado del cambio en el precio del producto B.

La gráfica mostraría que la curva de demanda del producto A se ubicaría más a la derecha como resultado del cambio en el precio del producto B, ya que la demanda del producto A ha aumentado, y los incrementos en la demanda son representados por un movimiento hacia la derecha de las curvas de demanda.

¿Puede ser posible que para un producto particular la curva de demanda sea perfectamente inelástica, sin importar el precio?

Si existe la posibilidad pero es muy remota. La tierra es un ejemplo de un bien que en ciertas situaciones puede ser perfectamente inelástica, más por el lado de la oferta que de la demanda.

¿Qué pasa con la demanda del vodka cuando el precio de los granos aumenta?

Cómo el Vodka se hace a partir de un tubérculo (papa) y no de un grano, la demanda de vodka aumentaría, ya que licores hechos a partir de granos como la cerveza, subirían de precio.

Estos productos, ¿son complementarios o son sustitutos?

Ambos productos son sustitutos ya que si el precio de uno aumenta, la demanda del otro aumenta y viceversa.

¿Es la elasticidad elástica, inelástica, perfectamente inelástica o unitaria? ¿Por qué?

Elasticidad precio de la demanda = %Δ cantidad demandada/%Δ precio

Elasticidad precio de la demanda = 0 / 14.2

                                                        = 0

Una elasticidad precio de la demanda de 0 es una elasticidad perfectamente inelástica. Esto significa que la cantidad demandada no responde al cambio en el precio. En este caso, podemos ver que el producto que almacena la empresa es prefectamente inelástico ya que a pesar de haber aumentado el precio un 14.2%, la cantidad almacenada de producto se mantuvo igual.

Indica cuál podría ser un ejemplo de este producto. ¿Por qué?

La gasolina, bajo ciertas condiciones, y principalmente en el corto plazo, es un bien que tiene una demanda muy inelástica, ya que a pesar de las subidas de precio, los consumidores de gasolina probablemente van a tener que seguir adquiriendo el bien con el fin de desplazarse.

¿Qué es la elasticidad ingreso de la demanda y cómo se mide?

La elasticidad ingreso de la demanda mide el cambio en la cantidad demandada de un bien, con respecto a cambios en el ingreso.

La fórmula es:

Elasticidad ingreso = %Δ cantidad demandada / %Δ ingreso

Por ejemplo, suponiendo que el ingreso de una persona cae un 10%, y su demanda por vodka cae un 20%, podemos calcular la elasticidad ingreso de la demanda del vodka:

Elasticidad ingreso = %Δ 20 / %Δ 10

                                = 2

Answer:

Not impaired because the fair value of the equipment is greater than the carrying value of the asset by $120,000.

Explanation:

Impairment will happen if carrying amount is greater than the fair value of the assets, here the carrying value of the assets is 1,480,000, which is lessor than the fair value of the assets 1,600,000 by 120,000. Hence impairment will not happen so 1st option is correct.

Blacken Company manufactures motorcycles. The company's management accountant wants to calculate the fixed and variable costs as
Alex

Answer:

fixed cost = 11.026,6

Explanation:

we will use the High-Low method to sovle for variable and fixed component of utilities:

We subtract the high form the low

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}High&2710&34712\\Low&2200&30255\\Diference&510&4457\\\end{array}\right]

510 hours generates 4,457 cost in utilities.

so variable cost:

4,457 / 210 = 8.74

Then we solve for fixed cost:

total cost = variable cost x Q + fixed cost

34,712 = 8.74(2,710) + fixed cost

fixed cost = 11.026,6

Suppose you were hired as a consultant for a company that wants to penetrate the Comp-XM market. This company wants to pursue a
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Option B. Chester Company

Explanation:

The company wants to pursue Niche Cost Leader Strategy. In a Niche cost leader strategy the product is highly differentiated and the cost the company charges to its customer is low as apposed to other competitors. The companies that has highly differentiated product and are new entrants usually use this strategy to win a good share of market size.

The strongest competitor would have lowest price, very stable market share price, high investment in plant and equipment, higher production capacity, lowest return on investment, lowest earnings per dollar sales. etc.

Now we will asses different reports and conclude which competitor will be the strongest competitor for the Niche Cost Leader Strategy company. The analysis is given as under:

  • <u>Lowest Price:</u> If we look at the Production information, Price Column and take the average price of the products of each company then we can conclude that Chester's price of average product is $20, Baldwin has $24.17 and the rest of the competitors are charging high. This means Chester is charging lowest price.
  • <u>Stable Market Share Price:</u> The vulnerability of share price of Chester is the lowest which stands at $0.45. This means that the stock exchange values the company's share as a stable stock with least vulnerability. (See Stock Market Summary)
  • <u>Lower Return on Asset and Return on Sales:</u> If we analyze the Selected Financial Statistics then we will acknowledge that Chester also has 2nd lowest Return on Assets and Return on sales which shows that the company is charging lower prices to its customers. Baldwin is not appropriate to consider here because the company is incurring losses hence its Return on Assets and Return on Sales can not be considered as good indication.
  • <u>Higher Investment in Plant and equipment:</u> The company has 2nd highest investment in plant and equipment with highest Net Book Value of $148k and Baldwin stands at $178k. Now again the higher investment of Baldwin is financed by debt which costs the company more than Chester. This means Chester would be strongest competitor because the company will have to only bear the depreciation cost which is non cash flow in nature and not the interest cost which Baldwin is bearing. (See Income statement for Interest Cost and Balance sheet for Carrying value of the asset).
  • <u>Production Capacity:</u> Chester has the highest production capacity which means that the company despite its 2nd largest investment in plant and equipment. This means that the plant and machinery of Chester is more innovative which is the reason that the production capacity is higher than other competitors.

From the above analysis it seems that Chester is pursuing Niche Cost Leader Market and is the strongest competitor that the company will face. Hence B is the correct option here.
